The saga of Ezekiel Ansah’s frustrating bouts with injuries just continues to get worse. After a week of practicing in pads Color Rush Michael Roberts Jersey , albeit in a limited fashion, Ansah was completely absent from Wednesday practice for Cowboys week.At this point, we don’t know if Ansah suffered a setback, is dealing with a new injury or was missing from Wednesday’s practice due to an unrelated issue, but smart money is on an injury. Initially, Ansah’s shoulder issue was considered minor, and there were even reports that he may not miss a single game. Things continued to look positive last week Youth Kenny Golladay Jersey , when Ansah strapped on the shoulder pads during practice and appeared to have full mobility with his upper body. But Ansah was a somewhat surprising inactive on Sunday night and that left the Lions having to play Romeo Okwara for 83 percent of the defensive snaps.Ansah’s health was the biggest question standing between him and a huge contract extension this offseason, and the Detroit Lions were just not confident enough in it to invest long-term. Instead, the Lions opted to a safer, but expensive, franchise tag.Unfortunately, Ansah health has remained a big issue. He missed significant time in training camp after tweaking his hamstring in a conditional drill. Then just one half into the regular season, Ansah suffered a shoulder injury and has not seen the field since. Wednesday’s injury report—out at 4 p.m. ET—will give us more information about Ansah’s condition Youth Kerryon Johnson Jersey , but for now, the outlook is bleak.Thursday open thread: Which Packers player—outside of Aaron Rodgers—scares you the most? The Green Bay Packers have been accused by many—including their own fans—of being a one-man team. Aaron Rodgers has been the face of that franchise for years now, and so goes Rodgers, as do the Packers. When he’s on, the Packers are as dangerous as any other team in the NFL. We he’s off or injured, the Packers aren’t just mortal, they’re bad. His supporting cast has always seemed lackluster Color Rush Taylor Decker Jersey , which is likely why Rodgers only has a single championship to his name. But this year, the Packers went out and found themselves a new general manager, and although they’re off to just a modest 2-1-1 start, many believe there’s something different about this Packers team. There may be some more dangerous players on both sides of the ball that opposing coaches will have to account for. So today’s Question of the Day is:Which Packers player, outside of Aaron Rodgers, scares you most for?My answer: Aaron Jones.It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions’ run defense has been an absolute disaster thus far. They’ve made Matt Breida and Isaiah Crowell look like elite backs and Ezekiel Elliott look like... well, Ezekiel Elliott. Jones is exactly the type of back Detroit has been vulnerable to: a speedy Frank Ragnow Jersey , shifty guy that can test the edges of the defense. He’s had a modest start to the season after serving a two-game suspension. In Weeks 3 and 4, he combined for 17 carries, 107 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Packers like to spread their distribution in the backfield, but Jones’ 6.3 yards per carry may be enough to warrant more touches over Jamaal Williams (3.4 YPC) and Ty Montgomery (4.5 YPC). Rodgers is always a scary player to go up against, but he may not even have to be himself on Sunday if the Lions can’t stop Jones.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
